The Original Blue Stocking.

Blue Stockings was q title which
originated in England in the time of
DR.. johnson for ladies who cultivated
learned conversation. Boswell relates
that in 1881 it was much the fashion
for ladies to form evening assemblies
where they might participate in talk
with literary and ingenious men. One
of the most eminent takers on these
occasions was Mr.. Stellingfeel, who
always wore blue stockings, and his
absence at any time was SO regretted
that it used to be said: eve can do
nothing without the blue stockings -
The title was by degrees transferred,
first to the clubs of this kind, and then
to the ladies who attended them. Itsoon
became ageneral appellation for pedan-
tic or ridiculously literary ladies. One
of the most famous of these clubs was
that which met at Mrs. Montagus,
which was sometimes honored by the
presence of DR.. johnson and the princi-
pal members which have been sketched
and eulogized by Hannah More in her
poem entitled the '.Bas Bleu." st
Louis Globe Democrat.

The Storms of Life Bring Out Strength
of Character Often Unsupported in

Some events seem purposely sent for the
dove opment of character. The little
sream murmuring along its way, dreamily
and happily, through green meadows and
sunny slopes, makes no change in its course
until it meets some impediment. Then it
rouses and wakes to action, roaring and
gathering itself into white foam, wholly
changing its current and character So
with ourselves, lives move on calmly and
evenly, with scarcely more than ripple to
show that latent force is there.
Some business misfortune comes with a
crash, almost without warning The first
sensation is paralysis of all the energies,
then the reaction, and we find ourselves
strong to do and dare. The death angel
enters the home circle, the one plaza we
had considered too sacred for its intrusion.
Both brain and body seen about to sink be.
meath the terrible crushing weight; sud-
denly the dormant faculties awake. We
must do or die.

EXPOSING A FRAUD.
How q Stubborn Man was Induced to Read
With His Blind Eye.

With His Blind Eye.
In large factory in which were en-
ployed several hundred persons one OF
the workmen, in welding his hammer,
carelessly allowed it to slip from his
hand. 1t flew halfway across the room
and struck fellow-workman in the left
eye. The man averred that his eye was
blinded by the blow, although careful
examination failed to reveal any injury,
there being not a scratch visible. He
brought suit IN the courts for COM
pensation for the loss of half of his eye
sight. and refused all offers of compro-
mise. Under the law the owner of the
factory was responsible for an injury
resulting from an accident of this kind,
and although he believed the man
was shamming, and that the
whole case was an attempt at
swindling. he had about made up
his mind that he would be compelled to
pay the claim. The day of the trial
arrived, and in open court an eminent
oculist retained by the defense. ex-
amined the alleged injured member,
and gave it as his opinion that it was
as good as the right eye. Upon the
plaintiff S loud protest of his inability
to see with his left eye, the oculist
proved him perjurer, and satisfied the
court and jury of the falsity of his
claim. And how do you suppose he
did itP Why, simply by k moving that
the colors green and red combined
made black. He prepared black card,
on which few words were written with
green ink. Then the plaintiff was or
dered to put on a pair of spectacles with
two different glasses, the one for the
right eye being red and the one for the
left eye consisting of ordinary glass.
Then the card was handed him and he
was ordered to read the writing on it.
This he did without hesitation, and the
cheat was at once exposed. The sound
right eye, fitted with the red glass, was
unable to distinguish the green writing
on the black surface of the card, while
the left eye, which he pretended was
sightless, was the one with which the
reading had to be done.-Potery Ga
zette.

WOMAN and 1HE HOME.
Ehe Atmosphere of Sweet Peace Which
should Prevade Every Family.


Should Prevade Every Family.
Nothing so helps woman through
che long weary days of work, as the
knowledge that what she does is appre-
ciated by those she loves and for whom
she tolls. Think of this. husbands and
fathers, and remember that kind word
is always in season. If, on some morn
ing, the coffee is shade too brown to
suit your taste. do not scold about it;
and, on every other morning when it is
delicious, say so. Try this way and you
will find your coffee, and every thing
else, to your taste much oftener; and
besides, you will give the ones you
ought to love best the sweet conscious
ness that they are doing their work
well, and giving satisfaction to the one,
of all others, they most desire to please
thus inspiring them with renewed
energy to strive for the merited re-
ward Of kind, appreciative words.
And so shall an atmosphere Of
peace, and sweet home happiness come
to pervade the whole house, born and
nurtured into beautiful, fragrant bios
soming by your own kind words and
deeds. Let us all remember, too, that
the higher ssd happier our home life.
the more wisely and better we may
hope to do the work that lies waiting
for US beyond it. A pleasant place to
"come home to- is the greatest ener-
gizer man can have. Then let us
strive with an earnest and constant pur-
pose to make and keep the home cheer
full, inviting and pleasant.
Every home should be brightly and
tastefully furnished, freely-if carefully
used-and every table should be regular
ly spread with reasonable variety Of
good, wholesome and appetizing food.
Economy is very good thing; but when
itdegenerates into unnecessary ''scrimp-
ing" it becomes meanness. The very
poor are often obliged to stint; but, what
their necessity makes virtue, is really
crime in the comfortably situated.
What are delicious things made for, if
not to be eaten? The appetite claims a
certain amount of what some consider
luxuries to satisfy it, and this should be
supplied in reasonable quantity at the
home table. A craving, unsatisfed
stomach is a dangerous thing, whether
it is the result of over indulgence in inn
proper, or the want of satisfying food.

ard Boston produce dealers and commission
merchants who refuse to return empty peach
baskets or to pay for them. The tax to
Delaware will be a big one amounting

Fruitland Grange of Wyoming has acted il.

lutions, which are publishsd by request: =
Whereas. The produce commission moi.
